In 2016, Shoup, who earned three degrees from UT Dallas, received the University’s Distinguished Alumni Award. A broad committee made up of UT Dallas clinicians, researchers, educators and staff members, as well as community members, has been seeking to find Campbell’s successor since last October. The Callier Center works closely with UT Southwestern in providing children with cochlear implants. Campbell will retire after 14 years of leading the Callier Center. Small said he expects the Callier Center leadership transition to be seamless, and he is eager to see where Shoup takes the center’s programs.
